Guide Users with CSS Cursor Generator
The **CSS Cursor Generator** is a utility for improving user experience through interface feedback. The mouse cursor is the primary point of interaction on desktop devices, and changing it appropriately signals functionality (e.g., 'grab' a map, 'wait' for loading, 'not-allowed' for disabled buttons).
Custom Cursors Power
Beyond the built-in system cursors, CSS allows you to define custom images (PNG, SVG) as cursors. This is popular in:
- Gaming Sites: Using crosshairs or custom pointers.
- Immersive Portfolios: Where the cursor interacts with the background.
- Apps: Custom 'Pen' or 'Brush' icons for drawing tools.
Best Practices
When using custom cursors, it is critical to define a fallback (e.g., `cursor: url(custom.png), auto;`) and to set the "hotspot" (the active pixel) correctly. This tool handles the syntax generation for you.
How to Use
- Select a standard cursor type to preview it.
- Or upload a custom image (max 32x32px recommended).
- Set the X/Y hotspot coordinates.
- Copy the CSS rule.
